Trump brands Iran nuclear deal ‘INSANE’ as Macron urges USA not to pull out of pact

PRESIDENT Donald Trump branded the three-year-old Iran nuclear deal “insane” and “ridiculous” at a meeting with the French President Emmanuel Macron today and said Iran will have 'bigger problems' if they restart its nuclear program.

Under the agreement, which was made by President Barack Obama, Iran has curbed its nuclear program in exchange for relief from international sanctions.

Mr Trump has described the agreement as “the worst deal in history”, but the rest of the world is concerned that scrapping the deal would see Iran developing the world’s most terrifying weapons.

The US President, who thinks the Iran agreement is too lenient and tougher sanctions should be imposed on the county, has warned Iran against resuming the nuclear programme it agreed to curb in a 2015 international deal.

It was insane. Ridiculous. It should have never been made. But we will be talking about it.

“I know the president wants to speak to me about that.

“If they restart their nuclear program, they will have bigger problems than they’ve ever had before.”
